EXPLAIN Yourself! Finding Query Planner Stalls Across DBMSes

Geoffrey X. Yu, Ryan Marcus, Tim Kraska

Query planners are typically expected to produce optimized plans quickly, leading many researchers (including the authors of this paper) and practitioners to design systems that as…

Tailwind: A Practical Framework for Query Accelerators

Geoffrey X. Yu, Ryan Marcus, Tim Kraska

Relational database management systems (RDBMSes) can process general-purpose queries, but often have lower performance compared to custom-built solutions for specific queries. For…

Data-Agnostic Cardinality Learning from Imperfect Workloads

Peizhi Wu, Rong Kang, Tieying Zhang +3

Cardinality estimation (CardEst) is a critical aspect of query optimization. Traditionally, it leverages statistics built directly over the data. However, organizational policies (…

Low Rank Learning for Offline Query Optimization

Zixuan Yi, Yao Tian, Zachary G. Ives +1

Recent deployments of learned query optimizers use expensive neural networks and ad-hoc search policies. To address these issues, we introduce \textsc{LimeQO}, a framework for offl…

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of LLMs for Query Optimization

Peter Akioyamen, Zixuan Yi, Ryan Marcus

Recent work in database query optimization has used complex machine learning strategies, such as customized reinforcement learning schemes. Surprisingly, we show that LLM embedding…

Adding Domain Knowledge to Query-Driven Learned Databases

Peizhi Wu, Ryan Marcus, Zachary G. Ives

In recent years, \emph{learned cardinality estimation} has emerged as an alternative to traditional query optimization methods: by training machine learning models over observed qu…
